How do you make Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers?
These Jalapeño Poppers have a great flavor and texture because they are bacon-wrapped too. These can be made in any air fryer using the basket that comes with it.
A few things to keep in mind at this point is that you will need the air fryer basket to make this recipe.
I also recommend using gloves as you slice the peppers in half, the heat from the peppers can cause burns on your hands if you aren’t careful. It will vary based on how hot the peppers are but sometimes they can put off a lot of heat.

Once the peppers are slice, you will want to fill them with the cream cheese and garlic salt mixture along with a little sausage or little smokies and then wrap them with bacon.
It’s best to start wrapping the bacon on the bottom so that it starts and finishes on the bottom. Then, when you place it in the air fryer or air crisp basket, you will not need to use any toothpicks.
How long do you cook Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers in the air fryer?
We always cook these on 375 degrees for 15 minutes with thick-cut bacon. I do suggest checking on them halfway through the cooking time to be sure they are cooking nicely and do not overcook.
If you are using thin-cut bacon, I would cook them for 10 minutes and then check to see if you need the additional 5 minutes.
Can you use aluminum foil in the air fryer?
Yes, you can use foil which helps avoid the mess afterward especially with bacon. I was informed of these great perforated sheets too that are available on Amazon. These should fit the air fryer nicely too!
By making these in the air fryer or Ninja Foodi, they will come out as nice crispy Jalapeño Poppers, perfect for parties and gatherings!
